The idea that this is over isn’t credible. This tells us a story about Britain as a profoundly undemocratic corrupt entity, paranoid over decades and willing to sacrifice civil liberties to defend its own secrets and power. That state now has powers of surveillance and repression unimagined by the writers and poets of the 1950s and 60s and powered by technologies of surveillance that are dystopian in nature. What has been released is just a fragment of the evidence about what has been done.
